Letters Patent No. 99,436, dated February 1, 1870.

COOKING-STOVE.

The Schedule referred to in these LettermPatent and making part of thesame.

To-all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, LEVI Hnnnmncn, of Lansingburg, in the countyofRensselaer, and in the State of New York, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in \Vatenlteservoirs for Cooking-Stoves;

and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of 'reference marked thereon, making a part of thisspecification.

The nature of my invention consists inconstructing a dead-air chamber onthe outside of the stove, for heating water in a reservoir, as will behereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others-skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains, to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the entire stove,

with the water-reservoir attached;

- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the rear part of the stove, showingthe place where the-water-reservoir is to be placed;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal vertical section of the entire stove, showingthe dead-air chamber and the waterreservoir. in position;

Figure 4 is a transverse vertical section;

l ignre 5 is a plan view; and

Figure 6 is a vertical section, showing a modification of-the dead-airchamber.

A represents a cooking-stove, made in any of the known andnsual ways.

At therear end of the stove A is placed an extension, 15, of anysuitable construction, to support the pater-reservoir C), in any mannerdesired, so as to forin a dead air chamber, D, underneath and on oneormore of the sides of the reservoir.

vThe air in the chamber D, becoming heated, heats the water in thereservoir sutficieut for any purpose.

In all stoves where water-reservoirs have heretofore been used, thesmoke and heat, or products of combustion, have invariably beeu'allowedaccess to the reservoir; but/this has been found, by experience, to

- be open to a great many objections, which. are entirely. overcome orobviated, by forming a dead-air chamberaround the reservoir, and thisheated air bringing the water to the desired temperature.

Another advantage is, that the reservoir cannot,

any possible means, be burned out. 7

The dead-air chamber may extend on all sides of the reservoir, if sodesired, and may be placedeither in front or rear of the stove, or, insome cases, at the side.

I do not confine myself to any particular position or construction ofthe said dead-air chamber, only so that it is outside of the stoveproper, and is used to heat the water-reservoir.-

If necessary, I may supply dampers to expel the heated air and supplycold air; but this I deem of minor importance. I have, however, shownthe places for such dampers in fig. 3.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In combination with a cooking-stove, a dead-air.

chamber, formed by an extension of the stove and-the water-reservoir,forthe purpose of heating the water in the same, substantially as hereinset forth.

2. The dead-air chamber D, formed on the outside of a cooking-stove, asdescribed, for the purpose of heating the water ina water-reservoir,substantially as herein set forth. a a

v3. The combination of a stove with the reservoir 0 and dead-air chamberD, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth,

4. A reservoir or water-tank, attached toacooking stove, whensaidreservoir or tank is placed upon or within a chamber or hot-air space,formed outside of the walls of a stove, substantially as herein setforth.

In testimony that' I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand,this'23d day of December,
